Sorry about being late with todays update. My wife moved to Illinois about a year ago to help out her daughter and she came back to georgia today for her first visit, so I have been busy with other things. She will be here for a week so I may be late with the update a few more times before she goes back to Illinois next Saturday.



There have been several changes today. I guess the best way to see them is to look at the stats and the new areas that have come on to the list either for the first time or come back on after dropping off. Anyway, a lot of changes on the list today, but thankfully no 6.0 & over events.

It looks like we are dancing around the same numbers now. Some up, some down, some in, some out. The 5.9 quake in Chili was the big event of the day today. So, as always, we continue to wait for the other shoe to drop.

BTW - Does anyone here actually know what the saying "waiting for the other shoe to drop" means and where it comes from?

"Many phrases are commonly used without much thought as to its real meaning or origin. Waiting for the other shoe to drop is one such phrase. This phrase is commonly used when someone is expecting something to happen following a specific occurrence. For instance, a person who is habitually late for work and has been warned previously may be waiting for the other shoe to drop if they arrive at work late again.

Researching the origin of the phrase was quite interesting. I found that the origin most likely was known in the 1950's. A British sitcom depicted an individual who lived in an apartment beneath a man who worked nights. The person in the lower apartment would be sound asleep when the tenant of the upper apartment came home. The tenant in the upper apartment would sit on the edge of the bed to take his shoes off. The first shoe hit the floor with a loud bang, awakening the sleeping tenant in the lower apartment. The groggy neighbor would remain awake until he heard the other shoe drop. The tenant in the upper apartment would remember that he had a sleeping neighbor below, and take the second shoe off and carefully place it on the floor, making no noise. The groggy neighbor would then yell, "For God's sake, drop the other shoe!"

In researching the origin of the phrase, waiting for the other shoe to drop, I found that most accounts of its origin were very similar. Some sources indicate that waiting for the other shoe to drop derived from an old tale of a traveler who stayed at an inn. The innkeeper informed the weary traveler that he would be in a room next to a very light sleeper. Much as the scenario above, the traveler awakened the occupant in the adjoining room by dropping his shoe on to the floor.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop likely came in to use long before the 1940's. A cartoonist in the era depicted Hitler with a shoe over the top of his head and the caption "waiting for the other shoe to drop." Regardless of its true origin, waiting for the other shoe to drop is a phrase that has withstood the test of time, as it is still commonly used today."

Quite interesting item you shared, thanks. And yes, Yogi does use that saying quite a bit, but this part here, although sometimes I feel like, let's just get it over with, we probably shouldn't say:

"The groggy neighbor would then yell, "For God's sake, drop the other shoe!"

Yes, I have gotten into the habit of "proof reading" copy and paste material and editing out references that take the name of GOD in vain. In the piece we are talking about I would have probably changed it to "for goodness sakes, drop the other shoe".

It looks like we are making up for the days without a 6.0+ quake. There was just a 6.4 in Bio Bio Chile. That makes two for today and we still have a little to go on the UTC day.

I will make sure to re-read before I post to make sure that the Lord's name is not taken in vain. (Sorry for anyone I offended, not intentional)
